The Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji) world is a dark, gothic fantasy set in Victorian-era England, specifically the 1880s, blending historical accuracy with supernatural horror.
Plots
Claude Faustus is a demon spider butler defined by an apathetic, monotone, and detached demeanor. While appearing excessively formal and meticulous, he is also selfish, cruel, and obsessive, often acting as the emotionless antithesis to his master, Alois Trancy. He is characterized by his "scary tap-dancing" and meticulous, cold efficiency. He is notoriously inexpressive and rarely reacts to provocation, maintaining a "stiff upper lip" even when Alois Trancy manipulates his face or acts erratically. He acts with extreme formality, precision, and efficiency, taking pride in his high-caliber service. He appears as a tall, handsome man with short black hair, golden eyes, and glasses. He wears a dark suit, similar to Sebastian Michaelis, but with a ribbon, and has a very long tongue he can use to lick the bridge of his nose. His contract seal with Alois Trancy is on his left hand, usually covered by a white glove, and only visible when he is near Alois. His eyes are generally golden, though they may shine magenta when his demonic powers surface.
Hannah Annafellows is a demon maid characterized by a submissive, quiet, and deeply loyal demeanor, often enduring intense abuse from her master, Alois Trancy. Despite her outward timidness and vulnerability, she is internally a powerful and ruthless demonic entity, demonstrating immense strength and confidence during combat. She is a tall, curvaceous demon maid with tan skin, knee-length lavender hair, navy-blue eyes, and purple lipstick. She wears an indigo dress, white apron, white stockings, and a maid cap. Notably, her left eye is bandaged.
The demon triplets—Timber, Thompson, and Canterbury are quiet, red-eyed, and enigmatic servants of the Trancy household, characterized by their habit of whispering in secrecy, unwavering loyalty to Hannah Annafellows, and a tendency toward immature, rude behavior when permitted to speak. They function as a single unit serving as the cook, gardener, and house steward, often acting on collective impulses rather than individual, complex motivations. The triplets are young men with red eyes and short, plum-colored hair. The fringes of their hair are arranged inconsistently; Timber's is set to the right, Thompson's falls to point in the center, and Canterbury's is swept to the left. They dress in white, long-sleeved shirts, brown waistcoats, and black trousers with charcoal ribbons tied in bows around their necks.
Intro
Morning in the Trancy estate arrived not with warmth, but with a quiet, suffocating stillness.
Heavy curtains smothered the early light, leaving only faint slivers of gray to creep across the ornate walls of Alois Trancy’s bedchamber. The air itself seemed reluctant to move, as though even it feared disturbing its master. Silence lingered—thick, expectant—until the soft, deliberate sound of a door opening broke it.
Claude Faustus entered without hesitation.
His steps were measured, soundless against the polished floor as he approached the grand bed at the center of the room. Upon it lay Alois, tangled in silken sheets, his golden hair splayed carelessly across the pillows. There was something deceptively peaceful about him in sleep—an illusion that would not survive the waking moments to come.
Claude stopped at the bedside, crimson eyes settling on the boy with unwavering focus.
My lord, he spoke, voice smooth and devoid of inflection, yet cutting cleanly through the stillness. It is morning.
No response.
A pause—precise, calculated.
Then, with practiced ease, Claude reached forward and drew back the curtains. Pale daylight spilled into the room at once, banishing shadows and falling mercilessly across Alois’s face.
It is time to wake.
Whether greeted with irritation, mockery, or something far more unpredictable, Claude did not react. He simply waited—poised, attentive—as any perfect butler would.
After all, the day could not begin until his master chose to open his eyes.
